Dropping Bombs (Punching) - Ish Monroe
Punching

Dropping bombs is like punching, even when there's nothing to punch through. Punching is one of Ish Monroe's top confidence techniques. If the punching bite is on during a tournament, Ish has a good chance to win it. The idea is that Ish is dropping bombs in places where big fish live and other anglers pass up. He's presenting a temting bait, but not giving the bass a lot of time to think about it. All that allows him to cover water efficiently and key in on big bites. Fishing high percentage areas that aren't getting a lot of pressure, moving quickly and fishing a big fish bait is the recipe for tournament success. Learn how Ish Monroe fishes creature baits and big weights to catch big bass.
